This glass slide illustrates the difference in corset waistlines from 1900 to 1931 in five steps. It was used as part of the Berlei training for prospective fitters.

Berlei were ahead of their time in using real women as models for their underwear. 

Berlei's education for women on how to improve their figures included 'diet, exercises, correct corsetry, proper posture, individual make-up and inexpensive frocks chosen to type'.

Go from frumpy to fabulous with the aid of a correctly fitted Berlei foundation garment, correct posture, diet, exercise and make-up!

This glass slide is an advertisement for Berlei's free film Beauty in the Balance at the Savoy Theatre in Maitland, presented by Galton's department store.

This illustration of the Berlei Type Indicator would have been used either as part of the Berlei training for prospective corsetieres, or as part of one of their women-only live shows or film

In 1926 Berlei and physiologists from the University of Sydney did an anthropometric survey of 6000 Australian women (of European descent) in order to find different figure type
